Bringing Alice back to life...
Feb. 25th, 2008 02:27 pmAn old Win2K machine whose name was Alice has been elected to be the "in-house" computer for stuff that doesn't have to go out the door with me, like backups of accounting files. Part of the decision had to do with the fact that the machine is loaded with a driver to label printer that was a leftover from the store, which I would like to use from time to time to print USPS labels.
To do so, however, requires Acrobat Reader, and when I went to the Adobe site, I duly selected the version of Reader that they offered for Windows 2000 with SP1 installed. Upon launching the installer, it proceeded to eat up minutes "recomposing" itself before getting around to installing the application, whereupon I was informed that my version of Windows (with SP1) was not supported and that I should go upgrade my operating system.
I am not amused.
Cheers...
